Re: No Sound, Newly Installed Motherboard

Hi Cary,

Thank you for your reply and yes the speakers I am trying to use do work and
they are built into my tft monitor. I have plugged the monitor into my laptop
and everything is in working order.

The cable is plugged into the 'line in' on my monitor and plugged into the
green port on my laptop and the sound come out of the speakers on my monitor.

However when I transfer back to my PC this does not happen. I have tried
installing the sound drivers from my cd that I got with the motherboard. I
have checked all volume levels, I have done sound tests etc... I contacted
the company I bought the motherboard off and all I have had back is to
confirm I installed the drivers from the cd. I have confirmed this and I am
waiting for a reply. I think it is a fault on the motherboard.

Many Thanks for your help Cary,

Kindest Regards, Lee
